| C | Indicates the charge or discharge rate equal to the capacity of a
battery divided by 1 hour |
| | |
| Capacity | The amount of energy stored in a cell. Typically expressed
in ampere-hours or milli-ampere-hours.
|
| | |
| Cathode | The electrode that oxidizes the anode or absorbs the
electrons. The electrode where reduction (gain ofelectrons) takes place.
When discharging, it is the positive electrode, when charging, it becomes
the negative electrode. |
| | |
| Cell | An electrochemical device composed of positive and negative
plates and electrolyte, which is capable of storing electrical energy. It
is the basic building block of a battery. |
| | |
| Charge | The conversion of electrical energy, provided in the form of
current from an external source, into chemical energy stored at the
electrodes of a cell or battery. |
| | |
| Charge Rate | The amount of current applied to the battery during the
charging process. This rate is commonly expressed as afraction of the
capacity of the battery. For example, the C/2 or C/5. |
| | |
| Charging | The process of supplying electrical energy for conversion to
stored chemical energy.
|
| | |
| Constant Current Charge | A charging process in which the current
applied to the battery is maintained at a constant value. |
| | |
| Constant Voltage Charge | A charging process in which the voltage
applied to a battery is held at a constant value. |
| | |
| Cutoff Voltage | The prescribed lower-limit voltage at which
battery discharge is considered complete. Also known as final voltage. |
| | |
| Cycle | One sequence of charge and discharge. |
| | |
| Cycle ( Shallow Cycle ) | Charge and discharge cycles which do not allow the
battery to approach its cutoff voltage. |
| | |
| Cycle : (Deep Cycle ) | Discharge until the battery reaches its cut-off voltage. |
| | |
| Cycle Life | For rechargeable batteries, the total number of
charge/discharge cycles the cell can sustain before the capacity is
significantly reduced. |
